Do I need to apply for a visa to visit Thailand for six weeks in December?
I am coming to Thailand in December for six weeks. Do I need to apply for a visa . TIA
Answer summary
To visit Thailand for six weeks in December, whether a visa is needed depends on your home country. Many Western countries, including the UK, allow travelers to enter Thailand visa-free for up to 60 days. Upon arrival, you will receive a stamp in your passport that grants you this 60-day period. It's advisable to check the official Thai visa regulations related to your nationality to confirm.

Google and official Thai websites explaining the matter clearly are a great invention. First you do your initial research and the hard work and then you come to a forum to clear up any unclear details. That's how it works

If you have a English passport then you will be fine to just come, they will give you the 60 day

Depends on your home country. Most Western countries get 60 days without having to apply for anything.
Aaron ********
No
Jan ******************
If your native language also is English, you can enter on a 60 days visa exemption and get a free stamp upon entry.
Javier ***********
@Jan *****************
Please clarify why a visa is issued with English as a native language.Jan ******************
@Javier **********
A visa it’s not issued if your native language is English, but maybe more correct to say that the majority of the official English speaking countries are entitled to visa exemption.
Stephan ***********
Depends on your passport... if your country is on this list then "no".
